H street is parking hell. Metro to Union Station, walk a short distance and catch the free street trolley. Drops you a half block away from Atlas!
I was very disappointed by the restaurants around the theater. They looked interesting on line, but when we got there 0 Sticky Rice and others - the places were not inviting, limited seating, poor service.
You can reach it by public transportation: Union Station and then the H street corridor tram. But it takes a long time. In this cold weather - I would cab it to the theater.
The Step Afrika show runs for about 1 hr, 15 min. No intermission.
There were snacks available for purchase, but a bit overpriced. $2.20 for a can soda, bottle of water, and candy bars.
I wore The dress for this event is very relaxed. My son had on slacks and my daughter had on a nice holiday dress. I felt that they were both over dressed, based on the number of tshirts, leggings, and jeans that sorrounded us. .
I wore Jeans and a sweater with comfortable boots. Be prepared to dance .
Fined next door at H St. Country Club. The BEST fish tacos.
Arrived early and found a parking space in front.
I wore Always cool so bring a shawl or jacket..
The nearest parking facility was $20. I walked a block over and there was plenty of free residential parking,
The weather was Perfect. I wore a maxi mud cloth dress. I've learned theaters can be a bit chilly..
ne can take the free H St. trolley from Union Station if you want to Metro there. There is very little parking available.
Eating nearby at Smith Commons was a treat.

The weather was cool / rainy . I wore light jacket - could have used a sweater .
We are at Smith Commons located at 1345 Hst NE - just few feet away; the food was fantastic as well as the service. I had the lamp crops -they were exquisite - will definitely go back!
Smith Commons on the next block had excellent food for pre theater dinner.
On a weeknight, all the nearby restaurants close their kitchens before the curtain comes down. The bars are open however.
